Answer:

The money you will have is $98020.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that grandparents deposit $2,000 each year on birthday and the account pays 7% interest compounded annually also the time is 21 years.

we will use the compound interest formula
A=P (1 + (r)/(100))^(t).

For the first birthday the amount after 21 yr will be:


A=2000(1+(7)/(100))^(21)

Similarly for the second birthday amount after 20yr will be:


A=2000(1+(7)/(100))^(20)

likewise, the last compound will be:


A=2000(1+(7)/(100))^1

The total value of such compounding would be :


\text {Total amount}=2000(1+(7)/(100))^(21)+2000(1+(7)/(100))^(20)...2000(1+(7)/(100))^(1)


\text {Total amount}=2000[(1+(7)/(100))^(21)+(1+(7)/(100))^(20)...(1+(7)/(100))^(1)]


\text{Total amount} \approx 2000(48.01)


\text{Total amount} \approx 96020

The total amount just after your grandparents make their​ deposit is:

≈($96020+2000)

≈$98020

Hence, the money you will have is $98020.
